• The Heart of Blake: The Visual Novel - 20 February 2025

  I’ve been reflecting on some of the feedback about Blake: The Visual Novel and want to share my thoughts. When I created the game, it was never intended to be about D.I.D. I left the narrative open for people to interpret in their own way, believing that giving space for others to find their own meaning is part of what makes storytelling powerful. That said, I understand some people felt the game portrayed D.I.D in a problematic light, and I respect their perspectives. I want to be clear that this was never my intention. Blake reflects my inner battles with mental health - the dark side of my mind that has tried to take over at times, and the part of me that rises up to fight against it. It’s exaggerated, fantastical, and symbolic, but not a depiction of any specific mental health disorder. For a while, I took this feedback to heart, thinking I’d done something wrong. I believed it, and…

• Developer's note & additional credits - 18 December 2023

  I've added a developer's note to the beginning of the game and additional special thanks credits!

• Big Announcement - Blake: The Visual Novel Available for Free - 23 March 2023

  Hey everyone! It's Ori here (the solo dev!) I have some important news I want to share with you about my game. As some of you may be aware, Blake: The Visual Novel was originally intended to be an episodic journey, exploring the mysteries behind each character and their origin stories within in the world of rainy New Stone. Blake: The Visual Novel was my debut game, so I didn't publicise it as episodic on release - I didn't want to promise something unless I knew I had a budget for the next game. Sadly, this isn't the case and Blake: The Visual Novel as a stand-alone game has an incomplete story. Because of this paradoxical issue, I have made the decision to make Blake: The Visual Novel available as a free game. This will come into effect within the next few weeks. I'd like to give a massive thanks to everyone who has supported me and my game, by playing, streaming, buying and promoting…

• Patch 3: Accessibility Update - 3 October 2021

  Big accessibility update: Self-voicing added to all buttons. Self-voicing descriptions added to image scenes. Mini-games made accessible for people who are visually impaired.

• Blake: The Visual Novel is getting a price adjustment - 29 September 2021

  Hi everyone! After a large amount of deliberation, I've made the decision to increase the price of Blake: The Visual Novel. This is based on feedback I've received on numerous occasions that the game is priced too low. This is my first game and I'm still learning new things every day. The new price for Blake: The Visual Novel will be changing to £5.79 ($7.99) on Monday 4th October, so be sure to take advantage of the absolute bargain introductory price of £1.69 ($1.99) whilst you can! Although the price will be increasing, I plan to do regular sales and updates, and hopefully there will be more exciting announcements on the horizon for Blake!

• Patch 2: Update notes - Rewording and typos - 6 September 2021
